Marquette women’s basketball earned its second straight win in BIG EAST play Sunday afternoon, defeating the Butler Bulldogs 59-45 at the Al McGuire Center.
“Thrilled to finish up the weekend getting a win against Butler. It was a very difficult challenge and just a hard nosed, grinded out type of game,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said. “We know when we play Butler and their style of play, they want to keep it very low scoring and there’s a lot of physicality in the paint. On a day where maybe we didn’t play our best, we handled ourselves in a way where we were able to make enough plays down the stretch.
